More Limits to Free Speech coming?
This self-serving action by Bush in an attempt to kill "527" groups, most of which support liberal-leaning causes and candidates and attack many conservative candidates, notably Bush himself, is simply an attempt to further limit free speech. The McCain-Feingold bill should have been overturned by the Supreme Court. Hopefully the courts won't further limit political speech by putting further restrictions on what citizens may do when they group together for political causes.
I may support Bush, but I don't agree with this at all. He should instead have vetoed the campaign finance law and called for more political speech. The more participation the better. If people want to try to fling mud, and aren't crossing into the land of libel and slander, than let them. They have a right to be heard just as much as the candidate that is flinging mud.
